Although it comes a month in the NCAA season, there is now a way for baseball junkies on Long Island to keep track of all the local teams in the area. College baseball in New York has taken on a greater national presence thanks to the improbable run of Stony Brook last season. The word “improbable” may only be appropriate when considering their track record as opposed to some of the powerhouse programs in the south. In actuality, the Seawolves possessed one of the most talented teams in the country, as evidence by their top 10 ranking in batting average, ERA and fielding percentage. While they may be the reason Long Island baseball has been put on the map, they are not the only team that can compete with the best. Long Island has seven teams that participate in the NCAA, along with Adelphi, Dowling, SUNY Farmingdale and Old Westbury, Hofstra, CW Post and St. Joseph’s. Here on Baseball on the Island we will recap all of the games and report important information as it pertains to the landscape of NCAA baseball on Long Island. Here’s to hoping 2013 is as eventful as last season, and a program will rise to prominence as it did in the case of Stony Brook.
